Borgo Bernardini
Set in a landscape of cypress and magnolia trees, lily ponds, and fountains, the grounds feature a stone chapel and a main hall that once was a boar-hunting lodge. There's a salt-water pool in the courtyard.
The villa sleeps 24, and Tuscan cooking classes are available. The weekly rental charge is $38,252 in high season, and $30,060 from November through March. The price includes a staff of three who provide housekeeping and prepare a continental breakfast buffet. Lunch and dinner can be arranged for an additional cost.
